Compact & Repair (1 Viewer)

[alayash03]

Your last statement is incorrect. A C&R doesn't remove legitimately inserted but incorrect - or blank - data. If you see that data at all when power is restored,
it is there until you manually remove it.

Compact is remove Last Auto numbers in the tables before you are not entry/Insert a complete record in the table.
Example :
Now you are just try to entry a orders and Click New Order that autonumbers is 5001.
In such a situation, your electricity is gone. When you will re-open your database then you found New Order Numbers is 5002.
But If you compact your BE file then its is start with 5001.

Okay, Lets say it again.

My BE file name is : Purchase Order- V6_be.accdb
I need to compact this file into two tables. Table Name is : tblPurchases and tblOrders
Destination Path : D:\POS\Purchase Order-125 V6_be.accdb

My FE file name is : Purchase Order- V6.accde
The code is in this file into frmDashboard
Destination Path : E:\Purchase Order- V6.accde

My file name is : tblOrders

strTableName = "tblOrders"

Error : 52 Bad File name or Number

Can you please post your entire code and show us which line is highlighted when you get the Bad File name error?

Autonumbers are simply a way to assign a unique identifier to each row. They have no meaning. You seem to be ascribing some meaning to the number. Don't. If you can't have gaps - for example you are writing checks so the numbers all have to be accounted for, then you need to use your own custom sequence number for that. Leave the autonumber as the PK and always use it for relationships but if you want a "meaningful" sequence number, roll your own. Here's a link to an app that generates two types:

Custom Sequence Numbers

Two examples of a custom sequence number. One is a complex ID with concatenated parts. The other is just a sequence number for detail items and is not used as a PK. It has a renumber feature. See below

PS - as the others have already mentioned - NEVER set the BE to compact on close. AND there is no reason to C&R the FE because the user doesn't ever change it so it is not subject to bloat. If your FE bloats, you have a different problem and we can offer solutions for that.

This is the code...

This doesn't look like what you said earlier. It should be something like:

strTableName = "tblOrders"

You also didn't specify which line gets highlighted when you get the error message.

theDBguy Error is : 3265 - Item not found in this collection.

I just asking you that #Post_20 & #Post_24 are okay. have there any mistakes?

Sorry, that doesn't help me help you. I asked you to tell us which line is highlighted when you get the error message. And no, posts #20 and #24 are not okay.

Are you able to post a sample copy of your db (both FE and BE)? You can empty out the tables, if you don't want us to see the data.

Please try and follow the most basic questions you are being asked. That way people can help you much better and a lot quicker?

Sure

Hi. Thanks for posting a sample db. I modified the code, but I couldn't test it, because we don't have the same file structure. My D drive is a DVD. So, take the attached file and test it, then let us know if you run into any errors.

Thanks for your reply. Now Its works with backup file. But my question was C&R in my main file that name is "Purchase Order- V6_be" and Inside table "tblOrder" & "tblPurchase" than take backup.

1. Can possible to do C&R with main file ?
2. Can possible to take C&R multiple tables ?

for multiple file I tried it:

'Link of my BE file
    strTableName1 = "tblOrder"            'name of your linked table
    strTableName2 = "tblPurchase"        'name of your linked table

I tried it for the Source ?

'Get the source of your back end
    strSource = Split(Split(CurrentDb.TableDefs(strTableName).Connect, "Database=")(1), ";")(0)

REPLACE it

'Get the source of your back end
    strSource = Split(Split(CurrentDb.TableDefs(strTableName1 & strTableName2).Connect, "Database=")(1), ";")(0)

Its give error same before.
